The three elements of 'Expanding'

• 

  Our expert translators translate English text into the target languages.
  Our translation support system ensures consistent translation.

• 

  Proofreading is essential to ensure high quality work
  Our expert proofreaders carefully check all types of materials.
  Two or more proofreaders check the text and layout, to ensure high quality.

• 

  We co-operate with translators all over the world.
  This global network of translators allows us to offer translation into almost any language.

Translators

Translators based all around the world translate the source language.
Our translation coordinator selects the best translator for the content, and then sends it out for translation. We use the CAT (Computer-Assisted Translation) software Trados to maintain consistency between translations created by different translators, and improve efficiency.

Proofreaders

Two or more expert proofreaders check each translation. High quality requires proofreaders who are familiar with the rhythm and basic grammar of each language.
We apply the same layout and translation rules (for example, leaving some terminology in English, translating it to the target language, or using brackets to show the source and target languages side by side) to the target languages.
